Her Power

EventHer Power works directly with teen girls with disabilities through a unique, four-day event designed to promote critical thinking about society’s messages, eliminate shame, develop leadership skills and encourage self-acceptance. This event is built on the best practices of the disability justice community and emerging research in female development, and goes beyond self-esteem programing to provide a venue for real self-empowerment.

Statewide coalition work originally funded by the US Department of Justice to create sustainable and systemic change. The coalition PAVIM works to support effective services for individuals with disabilities who are victims of sexual and/or domestic violence.

Participation in the National Leadership Academy for the Public’s Health (NLAPH) program, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to expand Her Power's impact through a national collaboration. NLAPH is a national program focused on improving population health by working with multi-sector leadership teams and training the teams through an applied, team-based collaborative leadership development model.
